Talbotville camping areas

Campsite

You’ll find dispersed camping on grassy sites at Talbotville down by Crooked River, almost 16 km along McMillan Rd from the Dargo High Plains Rd turn-off. Wander around the old Talbotville Cemetery or inspect the rusty ore carts at the nearby New Good Hope Mine. Note: reaching the latter entails numerous river crossings. You can also follow McMillans Track into adjacent Alpine National Park. Note: McMillans Rd is suitable for 2WD only in dry weather; off-road camper trailers can be towed in by a 4WD.

Information

If you follow the Dargo High Plains Rd for 17 km north of Dargo and then turn down McMillan Rd, you’ll soon reach Grant – a boom town during the 19th-century gold rush but now a town of ruins. Walk or drive around the local goldfields, and don’t forget to bring a picnic and fishing rods.
